FCC ‘Process Reform’ Should Be About Reducing FCC Power

The Barack Obama Administration has at their dictatorial behest a LOT of rogue Agencies, Departments and Commissions.

Wings of the Executive Branch Leviathan that have – under orders from the President, his Czars and his minions – spent the last two-plus years illegally imposing Big Government regulations and rules – without benefit of Congress and in direct opposition to the will of We the People.

And since November’s election – in which the American populace overwhelmingly demonstrated their desire for smaller, more accountable government – these agencies have kicked their authoritarian power grabs into overdrive.

The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) exists to force every federal agency to go through its process before a new regulation is imposed. So as to make the agency evaluate the damage said regulation will do to the free market.

And provide the public an opportunity to challenge the estimates and the regulation – and thereby perhaps stop it.

But the FCC is regulating first, and obeying to the law later – adhering to the PRA only after illicitly voting in their new regulations.

Which they did with their December Net Neutrality power grab.

Which they at the time said was SO important, they HAD to vote on it immediately. Right after the Less Government election, on the eve of Christmas and just before the new Republican-richer Congress convened.

A Congress which could have written a law making what the FCC was going to do actually legal.
